Mixed‐effects models used to analyze shear forces exerted by the geckos Pseudothecadactylus australis and Oedura coggeri
| Model number | Fixed effects | Random effects | Response variable |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Substrate + log (toe pad area) | Individual gecko ID | Log (Shear force) |
| 2 | Substrate + log (mass) | Individual gecko ID | Log (Shear force) |
| 3 | Substrate + log (mass) + log (toe pad area) | Individual gecko ID | Log (Shear force) |
| 4 | Species + log (toe pad area) | Individual gecko ID | Log (Shear force) |
| 5 | Species + log (mass) | Individual gecko ID | Log (Shear force) |
| 6 | Species + log (toe pad area) + log (mass) | Individual gecko ID | Log (Shear force) |
| 7 | Substrate*Species + log (toe pad area) | Individual gecko ID | Log (Shear force) |
| 8 | Substrate*Species + log (mass) | Individual gecko ID | Log (Shear force) |
| 9 | Substrate*Species + log (toe pad area) | Individual gecko ID | Log (Shear force) |
